This workshop has not been advertised that much, but for anyone interested in Late Antique Latin historiography and recent groundbreaking developments in our understanding of it this looks extremely interesting. I am really sad I will not be able to attend.

George and Justin's book has challenged the phantom of Kaisergeschichte, arguing for a big history work of Sextus Aurelius Victor, preserved only through abbreviations and fragments. Bleckmann expressed his scepticism of their thesis in a review of their book, dismissing it as just another model.

Bernie Sanders. Crystal clear.

I have published a letter from the 17th-century classicist Johann Georg Graevius to his French colleague Adrien de Valois, about the latter's Ammianus edition, on the blog of the Last Historians of Rome project. lasthistorians.shca.ed.ac.uk/blog/2025/12...

So pleased this is finally out: "Social Network Analysis", with my favourite writing buddy, the incomparable Máirín MacCarron, in Brill's Companion to Roman Prosopography. We hope it will be useful, also for teaching! The whole volume looks great, congrats to the editors! brill.com/display/titl...

Like many others, I deleted my Academia[dot]edu account yesterday. I have given some thought to the cause and implications. Perhaps not the end of my reflection on the matter, but I think we need to have some kind of discussion about these current developments and how they affect our research.

Today is the feast of Sidonius Apollinaris, d. in the late 5th c. I hadn't really been paying attention since admiring his poetry as an undegrad and was surprised how many MSS of his works there are. Let's look at some copies of his letters.

Here's the Florence MS online: portail.biblissima.fr/fr/ark:/4309... and the Reims MS: portail.biblissima.fr/fr/ark:/4309... This site has an inventory of Sidonius MSS available online: sidonapol.org/manuscripts/

Veel dank aan @timoepping.bsky.social om deze podcast op te nemen over 'De wereld van Clovis' ( @ertsberg.bsky.social ) voor zijn gloednieuwe reeks Middeleeuwen. We hadden zoveel materiaal dat we twee afleveringen hebben gemaakt. De eerste aflevering valt hier reeds te beluisteren via Spotify.

I was interviewed on Anthony Kaldellis' podcast Byzantium and Friends on Latin literature, esp. in late antiquity, and the periods we cut it up into. There's a bit about Greek literature too: byzantiumandfriends.podbean.com/e/135-latin-...
